@kevinyoukilis I think the best comparison anyone can make for Jerren Duran's hustle is ole Charlie Hustle himself, Pete Rose. I can remember him turning a single into a double so often!

@techlady911 Bye. You were always fun!

@GreekGodOfHops If the ball need only be in the "interior of the first baseman's mitt" & does not need to have actually struck the back of pocket of said mitt, how do umpires now listen as well as watch to call a play? Crack thump is still reliable, but thump crack might not be.

[Jim @jim663]

@GreekGodOfHops how does the new rule on the ball in the first baseman's mitt affect the way umpires are taught to see but also to listen? How does crack thump work now? Thump crack too. Does not need a crack any more, right?

@jamesmothersbaugh1 On 6/19, Twitter refused to sign in to my account, @jim663. Kept presenting your account internally even though I was trying to use my login jim663. I quit everything & tried later; all was fine. Just a heads up, though, given we are both James Mothersbaugh

@Citibank just required my wife to get my permission to use the thank-you points accumulated on our account. How insulting this is to my wife! We have been equal partners on this account for over 30 years. I never realized @Citibank was a Republican organization!

Let's see. Got a coupla election deniers denying they are an item post-Boebert divorce. Can we get a denial denial here and say they are an item? https://t.co/ooMYsCG946

@galitkfraser I taught orchestra 28 years. Often I was the only teacher who had anything good to say about the kid. I tried to go to every meeting, but being at three schools, sometimes I just could not. In that case, my words were written.

@frazee_kristin @SEBLASD I didn't. A year ago I started at age 68 to hike the AT nobo. 5 days and 31 miles into it, I left the trail with a problem in my left knee. Looking at 5" of snow and single digit temperatures, I did not want to be a problem for other hikers around me.

Casper, WY, had a doe mule deer albino for 8 or 9 years. Finally died of old age on someone's patio. Nice that ours got to live a complete life & treat us humans to the spectacle. A local museum had it 'stuffed' (mounted) for generations to come to see it.https://t.co/z3hGblwvXZ

No one had heard from Paulina Porizkova in decades when suddenly Rick Ocasek died, leaving her penniless and out of the will. Now seems like every other day she is out there posting nudies to IG or Snap trying to make a buck. Geez. Can't someone pay her to stop?!

On Trump just 'thinking' the declassification of top secret documents: He seems to have borrowed the 'Think System' that "The Music Man['s]" Professor Harold Hill used to teach little kids how to play music so long ago! The swindle continues!

@jyllissa_harris What a wanker that coach is!!

@ESPN Have your TV announcing team doing tonight's baseball game between LA and SF learn the rules of the game! One is trying to say where a runner winds up on a ground rule double depends on where he is when the ball goes into the stands. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no no no no no no!

[Jim @jim663]

@ESPN This message is for the commentator doing tonight's Sunday Night Baseball game between Dodgers & Giants This is Rule 506 (b) (4) (F). The runner gets two bases from the base he was on when the pitch was thrown. Does Not Matter whether he's stealing or being forced to run.
